   The console-based "an" should be compilable on any system. It looks   
   like Debian have given it a complete rewrite since I last patched it,   
   pick whichever suits you best. I presume Tk should be available too,   
   in which case you can try my disgustingly ugly "anaffront" front end   
   to it.   
      
   Other console-based ones are available in source code form, check the   
   FAQ.   
      
   Otherwise, you're probably stuck with web-based ones for a while.   
      
   And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why open source is a good thing,   
   Anagram Maker could almost certainly be fixed to work with the new   
   version of OSX, had the source been freely available.
